MSNBC CAUGHT SELECTIVELY EDITING ANOTHER CLIP — THIS TIME OF SANDY HOOK VICTIM’S FATHER

Quote:No stranger to selectively edited video clips, MSNBC on Monday aired a misleading and incomplete clip of testimony given by the father of a Sandy Hook victim at a hearing before the Connecticut Legislature. The edited version of his remarks, aired on Martin Bashir’s show, make it appear as if pro-gun advocates maliciously interrupted (or “heckled” as many have said) the dad for no reason as he calmly argued against civilians owning semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. In fact, the edit was so subtle not even we picked up on it in our original story.

on Wednesday, MSNBC finally addressed the controversy — but issued no apology or correction.

“On Monday on our program, we aired a portion of a hearing where we heard from Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son Jesse was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School,” fill-in host and MSNBC contributor Ari Melber said. “We have received a number of comments over the past two days, so we are going to play the relevant portion of that testimony in full.”

After playing the unedited video of Heslin’s testimony, Martin Bashir’s fill-in host still did not issue a correction or apology.

“Martin [Bashir] and many others who saw Mr. Heslin’s testimony have called that interruption ‘heckling,’ some disagree. He wanted you to hear it in full so you can draw your own conclusion,” Melber added.
